As morbid as it sounds, sometimes I wish instead of being depressed I had a brain tumor or something like that because at least there's a chance it'd be cured and it'd be easier to explain why I struggle so much to myself and others

I think that too and I feel guilty for thinking so because I know that what people with physical illness go through is horrible

I had a brain tumor… and it DESTROYED MY HORMONES! My hormonal imbalances made me depressed

My sister has back issues and is in pain all the time and I'm jealous at times because at least my parents and others get to by she's upset and give her more grace. When it's not something physical or that I can show it's harder for even me to grasp how bad it is

I get it. It feels so debilitating and it impacts my life in real, tangible ways. In my relationships, my work, my daily life. But there’s no physical ailment so it feels like I’m doing it all to myself. Like everything that happens to me is just self inflicted.

Pretty sure I'm gonna fail out of school and I'm just pissed at the world right now. Like if I can't handle college how can I even handle a job

If it makes u feel better I failed out of school but went back and finished. Things get better. Unfortunately they also get worse and I’m currently in the worse stage 😭 but I believe it’ll get better. Been missing a lot of work due to life circumstances and primarily poor mental health.
